Dallas Goedert's fantasy role in Week 2
Dallas Goedert goes into Week 2 of the 2026 season as a every-week lineup piece at TE for the PHI. He is rostered in 93% of leagues and actually started in 72% of them, and we rank him TE8 on our own weekly board at 9.6 projected points.
Roster rates are steady week over week, so his role looks settled rather than in flux.
Health matters here: he carries a QUESTIONABLE designation, so have a replacement ready until his status is resolved.
Week 2 matchup breakdown
The matchup: at TEN. Our Pepper Meter heat rating for this spot is 3 out of 5, which is how we grade the combination of role, projection and opponent difficulty.
Against a typical starting TE baseline of 7 points, his 9.6-point projection is 2.6 points better. That gap is the whole start/sit argument in one number.
How to play it
Start Dallas Goedert in Week 2: our TE8 projects for 9.6 points, 2.6 above a typical starting TE.
If you are deciding between him and another TE, compare projections first, then lean on the Pepper Meter heat rating as the tiebreaker.
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Dallas Goedert (PHI TE), our TE8 this week for Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season at TEN, projecting 9.6 projected points with a hot Pepper Meter rating. On the road against TEN, I expect the game to stay competitive enough that his usage holds. 72% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Fair warning: he carries a questionable tag as of the timestamp below, so re-check before kickoff. Hot heat, high rank: reliable points without the fireworks.
